[Peace-discuss] Naked Capitalism on the failure of the Doha Round of trade talks

[Stuart Levy]

An article posted in NakedCapitalism.com on the failure of the Doha 
round of trade talks, and walking away from principles we'd agreed to - 
we're taking our marbles and going elsewhere...

Yves Smith summarizes, " this post describes the US foot-dragging and 
gamesmanship to protect US agricultural interests from competition from 
developing economies."

   [...] " the United States has been, and remains, the principal reason 
for that failure. Since 2008, when negotiations broke down, the U.S. has 
refused to continue negotiating on the key issues central to the 
development agenda – reducing agricultural subsidies, allowing 
developing countries special protection measures for agriculture, 
eliminating export subsidies and credits, and a host of other issues."
